Inquiries among farmers and experiments indicate that pear, clover, planted with corn may be successful not oftener than twice in five years. Wilting for age crops suggests that with a protein supplement, pork yields per acre may exceed corn alone. Laying by corn a week earlier improves rape or clover growth, especially when the field is well weeded and soil moisture is favorable. Former Iowa residents featured in a national Republican convention in Cleveland, including Theodore P. Buxton of Ohio and Dr. M. L. Burton of Michigan, with backgrounds tied to Grinnell College and Poweshiek county. Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming served as permanent chairman, noting his youthful days on the prairie and local schooling.
